It depends on whether there is a generic available, or if you have to buy the name brand. Before Lamictal was available as a generic, it was almost $300/month.
But if you're buying a generic version of Prozac, for instance, there are retail stores that sell that for $4 for a 30 day supply.
So as you can see, it really varies.
